HILTONS NIECE.
THE FAYORITE MAKING TROUBLE,
She Brings Suit Against the Judge for an
Accounting.
THE LIGHTNING'S DEADLY WORK
The Death Of Two Prominent Men While
Out Sailing.

NEW YORK, July 23.-The litigation
over the estate Of Alexander I. Stewart
appears to be interminahle.
The last published important action be-
gun was that by Prescott Hall ButIer
VINO about the middle of February last
hled notice Of pendency of action in a spit
10 set aside what is known as the trust
elanse IN the will of Mrs. Cornelia M,
Stewart. '''
MIR. Buffers great aim was 10 reduee ex-
Judge Henry Hilton's influence and mower
as trustee under that document N 40
near nothing as possible.
MT butler 3 mother-in-law, Mrs. J. Law
renee smith, has now begun another suit
against MrS. Hilton. The purpose of this
Is to have an accounting, and set aside the
transfer OF the dry goods business made by
Mrs. Stewart in 1876. \. T. Stewart died
IN April Of that year.
Iee present action differs in important
particulars from the suit instituted by Mr.
Butler. In his action he devoted a large
part OF his hlscomplaiut to allegations of undue
influence eXerted by Mr.. Hilton upon the
mlnd OF Mrs. Stewart. This feature does
not appear IN the present complaint, which
without this, however, is formidable doc
ment
Mrs. Smith reCites the well-known facts
relative to the transfer and makes the as
sertiOn that it was unlawfully made
against the lawful interests of the rightful
heirs and not in accordance with the inten-
tions OF Mr.. Stewart rs described in his
will. The sumo OF $1,000, 900 for which
provisions was made, was intended, il is
asserted, rs full and ample diScharge of
all obligations of the estate to Judge Hill
ton for conducting or closing out the bust
ness.
Among the property to which attention
IS called rs having passed improperly 10
MIR. Huton's hands are the building ut
Broadway and Chambers street and the
large retail building at Tenth street. There
Is a recital of the facts of the will of A. r.
Stewart, the letters from Mr.. Stewart 10
his wife relative To his wishes, OF the man
agement of the estate by Mr. Hilton, OF
Mrs. Stewart'S will and of many such mat
terS rs were set forth in the suit of Mr..
Butler. The transfer of the property is
held to have been made without authority
and in manner demanding an iuYestiga-
tiOn and an accounting
In the original will and first cOdicil,
Mrs. Smith received a certain sum out and
out; but in the final provisions of the doc
ument she was made au equal heir with
Charles J. Clinch, the "favorite' nephew
OF Mrs Stewart. rs Mrs. Smith was said to
be her "tayOrite' niece. AS the present
action is brought merely TO set aside the
transfer OF property made in .lS76, it is
thought that the litigation takes this form
to evade the clause in the will providing
that any heir contesting it shall forfeit the
sum LETT him or her.

of martinez has shown himself to be even
more disposed to act with fairness and
justice toward the Irish tenantry than his
predecessor in office, Sir Robert Hamilton.
whose resignation was demanded because
be was fayorably disposed toward Mr..
Gladstone's Home Rule policy.
The Marquis Of Londonderry, as Vice
roy of Ireland, will undoubtedly demand
unrestrained exercise of the law, framed
as it was for the enforcement in the coun-
try for whose government he is response
BILE, and in the circumstances his demand
would seem to be in no way unreasonable;
bat the political considerations now TO be
taken into account will make the govern
ment chary about giving him the power in
the execution Of the law to which he is en-
titled.
In advising strict enforcement Of the
law, should he do so, the Viceroy would
be opposed by the other three parties to
the conference upon entirely dissimilar
grounds. Mr. Balfour would oppose the
suggestion because of the Governments
peculiar position, which necessitates very
material allowances to the changed state
of public opinion on the part Of the con.
servative party, if they would retain
office. Lord Ashbourne would argue
against it from the point of view Of
man who has never been among
those who were classed as Ireland's
bitterest enemies, aud has no desire at this
late day to be Hsoed in that category, al
though there is probably no more senti-
mental reason for this opposition, but Gen
eral Butler would contend against the
proposal from motives of justice. Holding,
as he does, an exalted life position in the
army, he is entirely removed from a posi-
tion where he could be influenced by con-
siderations of political preferment, and
during the time he has been in Ireland he
has had opportunities to observe the true
relations between landlord and tenant that
few men have ever had, or have taken ad-
vantage of if they did have.
In view of the variety of opinion among
the rulers of Irelaxd it is reasonably safe
to predict that an extremely moderate ap-
plication of the Coercion law will be de-
cided upon, and it is safe to say that the
magistrates and county officials summoned
to Dublin to report the condition Of their
localities and to receive instruc-
tiOns. will experience no little surprise at
the character of their orders if they have
cherished the idea Of paying of old scores
through the enforcement Of the Crimes

The Prohibitory Law In Rhode Island
Seems to be Increasing the Traffic.
PROvIDENCE, r. l., July 23.-Searches
and seizures under the PrOhibitOry law
during the past few days have created only
temporary panic among Rhode Island
liquor dealers.
The prohibltory law, as amended, gives
the Chief of State Police virtually auto
cratic powers. lie aud his deputies can
search, seize, arrest and imprison rs they
please. Suspicion of the reasOnableness of
which they are the judges is sufficient to
Justify, under the law, forcible entry
into a private house.
Fortunately, however, Chief of State
Police Curtis is n man who will not know
ingly abuse his authority, and 80 far there
has been no cause to complain against him
rs tyrannical He might ~ well, how
ever, try to bail out Narragansett Bay
with a water pail as endeavor to stop the
free sale of liquor in Providence. There
are more places selling than under the
license system, and this is because people
want liquor, and will have it, however
stringent the enactments against it.

ALARM FOR THE CATTLE MEN.
A Diversity of Opinion as tn the Report
That the Trait Will Be Abandoned.

ST. LOUIS, July 23.-Telegrams from
Dallas and San Antonio, Texas, discredit
the report that the Texas cattle trail is to
abandoned, and that 80, 900 head of cattle
on their way to Wyoming were yesterday
turned back at the Arkansas river.
Col. Simpson, who was reported as hav-
ing agents at the cattle growers meeting
at Denver, says his company was not rep
resented there, and that all the cattle he
had sent over the trail this summer are
now in Wyoming He says it is probably
true that there is little demand for Texas
cattle in Wyoming, but that this will not
cause heavy loss or probable failure.
Major Hilliard thought the report was
intended to alarm Texas cattle men. He
thought trail cattle were finding slow sale,
but there was plenty of grass in Indian
Territory, and no necessity to turn the
herds back.
In other quarters it was generally recOg-
nized that the old days of the trail is over,
and the only salvation is to establish pack
ing houses IN Texas.

BETTER THAN EXPECTED.

BOSTON, MASS, July GA story was
published last evening that the new sloop
yacht Volunteer had met with an accident
yesterday, and her trainsail had given way
with a crash, and that the tattered sheet
went flying to the wiud.
The facts are that yesterday, after the
rain storm, the Volunteer started out
for a short run to Nahant The
sea was heavy, and fifteen,
knot breeze was blowing. Her sails
at first worked badly, but came out all
right in short time, and she stood uE
magni6cently in the heavy wind and rough
sea, doing better even than her owner anG
designer had expected.
On her return from Nahant the bobstay
was unscrewed from the cap on the bow
spirit, which formed the only ground fol
the yarn alluded to. Captain Half say
she behaved admirably, and he consider
her better boat in rough sea than eithel
the Puritan or the Mayaower.
